What type of elements are in group 1A?
Alkalene metals like hydrogen are present
Do element become more metallic across each period?
No, elements become less metallic across periods. Periods are horizontal rows within the periodic table, and read left to right. The far right elements are called non-metals, and the far left elements are called metals. In between these two groups are a few metalloids - elements that have characteristics of both metals and non-metals. A period looks like this: Metals --> Metalloid --> Non-metals
What type of elements are on the periodic table?
The periodic table of the elements is so useful is because it is a means of arranging elements according to their similar properties.There are multiple ways of grouping the elements, but they are commonly divided into: metals,semimetals, andnonmetals.You'll find more specific groups, like: transition metals,rare earths,alkali metals,alkaline earths,halogens, andnoble gases.
Which metals can be cut with a knife?
Lithium can be cut with a knife because the elements built in it are very sof tand timid.
Why are elements grouped as metalloids?
some metals in the periodic table like antimony show the characters of both metals and non metals in their chemical reactions so that they cannot actually be labelled as a METAL or NON METAL.hence they are grouped as metalloids
Most of the elements that form a zigzag line in the periodic table belong to one major group what is that group and what kinds of properties do its elements tend to have?
The Elements are Metalloids. They Act Like Non-Metals When They React With Metals
What elements are found to the right of the zigzag line on the periodic table?
the elements to the right are called non-metals don't be fooled if you have any more questions just reply i am like a human genius. :) hope it helped
What elements are like magnesium?

How are halogens like metals?
Halogens are not like metals. Halogens are elements missing one electron for full valency.
What do metals respond to?
metals as in elements. or like zinc. or something. from my knowledge, magnets, other metals (sometimes), gas, && liquid.
What elements are found by themselves in nature?
Native elements are those found by themselves, in pure form, uncombined with other elements into minerals. Of all the elements, only about thirty native elements are known, including metals like copper, gold, lead, and iron; semi-metals like antimony, arsenic, bismuth, and tellurium, and non-metals like diamond, sulfur, and selenium. --------- carbon
Which class of elements is most effective at conducting electricity and heat?
The best conductors are metals like silver or copper.
What are the three classes of elements?
The three classes of elements are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.
What type of elements are in group 1A?
Alkalene metals like hydrogen are present

Which elements are more likely to react with other elements?
The alkali metals like sodium,pottasium etc.are very much reactive.Francium is so far the most reactive alkali metals.
What are some words that begin like the word zigzag?
Zigzag, Zebra, Zephyr, Zucchini.
